Truth With Wilson Joel: Understanding Contract In Music Business

“A contract is a voluntary arrangement between two or more parties that is enforceable at law as a binding legal agreement. Contract is a branch of the law of obligations in jurisdictions of the civil law tradition. A contract arises when the parties agree that there is an agreement……” Basically, when you are entering into any sort of venture with anyone or organizational structure and there’s no contract, Fraud is inevitable.

Never be ashamed of not signing a contract that you aren’t comfortable with. The Law is never favourable to sentiments where contracts are signed.

Know what you signed and stick to the T&Cs. Being ignorant will send you straight to prison if the other party is not sentimental.

I drafted a contract with my lawyers for an artiste I was meant to sign and put it on hold when I sensed some foul smell. Because tomorrow, if the artist messes up the court won’t.

Monies spent need to be recouped, there’s no freebies whenever a contract is signed based on monetary gains. The problem is the world is now filled with “Half Talented” folks wanting to “blow” overnight! Follow process & have peace of mind. If all you can gather is $1000 you’ll enjoy it better than the other folk who gathered $1,000,000 fraudulently.
